Hi there,
I'm working on a book from a trader out of Belgium. Sylvain Vervoort. He writes a lot for Stocks and Commodities mag. I'm pretty excited about it-- hope to have it published and on the shelves by early July.

Hi Jimmy!
It's going to be quite an extensive text on technical analysis but specifically the type of analysis Sylvain uses to trade-- he uses the acronym LOCKIT for long-term trend, opening rules, closing rules, k-ratio, initial stop, and trailing stop, and the book is framed by this methodology. We've included a primer on candlestick patters, Elliott wave, price projection techniques, and the indicators he deems most successful, hundreds of charts, Metastock code for all of the indicators he uses (including his own proprietary one) and code for other useful techniques (like ATR) with a DVD of it all in the back, and good money/risk management techniques. I think my favorite part is that he doesn't waste any time. He tells you everything straight up. In his own words, he wants to give you all the info you need to successfully trade his method, and that's it. I appreciate that mentality because so many books (even, ahem, some of the ones I work on here) tend to add a lot of "fluff". I wouldn't say this book is basic by any stretch, but a new person would learn a whole heck of a lot. Especially useful is how he walks you through multiple trades with the LOCKIT rules (another good thing, he gives you rules) with exactly how you decide whether to open or close a position. It's kind of like you're trading right along with him.

Anyways, I could go on and on. That's what us editors do If you have any ideas or questions, please let me know! Maybe you could do a review for me when it comes out! You can reach me at mpbpub@marketplacebooks.com.
